Now that song is stuck in your head... You're welcome ;)
In this episode we dive into how we do groceries, and we cover it all- from meal planning to list making, shopping to easy recipes that are staples in our home. We know there is not one "right" way to do it, but this is the system we've developed over the last 6 years that works for us, and it's being tweaked continually. We hope there is something from today's episode that you can take away to implement for yourself! This episode also shows our profound love for pizza sauce and oreos.... but never together, of course!
We're super excited to partner with Crate, a Sarasota grocery delivery service, for this episode! Crate has an amazing offer for all of our listeners this week. Be sure to listen for the code that we share in the episode so that you can have $10 off your first order!
You can find Crate on their website: Crate.Market or their Instagram: @grocerycrate

Nicole (aka CoCo) is also an Airbnb host, and she shares two of her Airbnb horror stories with us; Vanessa shares one of the Mayers' more recent Airbnb horror stories. Please note that despite these "fun" situations, both the Mayer and Jordan families LOVE Airbnb and highly recommend it! Every "job" has its downfall, and the occasional crazy guest is bound to happen but does not totally ruin the experience for them. This is just a fun episode to share some of their more interesting Airbnb experiences :) On My List this week includes "liquids" and "lotus..." The guesses were not accurate at all!
